Swimming against homophobia and with Dennis Gonzalez
Great winner so far Europeans aquatic animals that are controversial in BelgradeSpanish Dennis Gonzalez– he said after one of his three gold achieved in artistic swimmingthat was subject of homophobic comments after publishing one of his triumphs on the social networks of the thematic channel Teledeporte. After participating in the championship swimming world I wanted to publicly declare my support.
“We want to express our deep disagreement and rejection of homophobic attacks directed at Dennis Gonzalez via social media” Royal Spanish Swimming Federation via posting on X (formerly Twitter). “RFEN strongly condemns any discrimination and supports his strong commitment to inclusivity, respect and equality in sport“, made it clear to the institution, which ended with thanks to “everyone for supporting our athletes, and from our organization we want to once again congratulate them all on the results obtained in this competition.”
In the same spirit Catalan Swimming Federation (FCN), since a swimmer is born in Ruby (and trains daily at CAR Sant Cugat). “We condemn the recent homophobic attacks addressed to Dennis Gonzalez.” “These discriminatory acts committed through social media are Completely unacceptable and contrary to the values of inclusion, respect and diversity which we protect through our sport,” they said.
FCN added that “Dennis Gonzalez demonstrated Exceptional talent and commendable dedication throughout his entire sports career. It is unacceptable for their sporting performance to be affected by prejudice and discrimination.” And so they call on “the entire sports community now society as a whole unite against such harmful behaviorpromoting a safe, inclusive and respectful environment for all athletes.”
